Take a deep breath...

time for some fresh air

Living in the city can take a toll on our air quality, but we’ve taken a look at NASA’s ‘Clean Air Study’ and we’re happy to tell you that houseplants are the answer! They absorb particulates from the air while they are busy converting carbon dioxide to oxygen, like a filter. On top of that, micro-organisms found in the potting soil also have a cleaning effect. In order to be effective it’s suggested that you have at least one plant per 100 square feet of space in your home. Time to start potting!!

Green For Any Spot in Your Home

Low light plants for anywhere

Maybe you’ve given up on having plants in the office, bathroom or the bedroom that gets very little sunlight. Never fear, there’s lots of options for low light spots in your home! You can use lush tropicals in places that rarely see the sky, you just have to know which ones to pick. Some of our top ideas for low light levels include the ZZ plant and the prayer plant, but don’t stop there. Take a look at all of our recommendations on the blog.
